The Strasberg's definitely used her. Lee did help her with her acting, but he also used her fame to make $$ for the actors studio, and made her dependence on himself and Paula Strasburg become toxic. The weekly salary she was giving them was extremely extravagant for the 1950s. Lee even defied her request in her will. She requested that all of her possessions be distributed to her friends and those she loved. Instead, he hoarded them for decades, and passed on these items to his second widow, who never even met MM. She put these items up for auction. She made over $10,000,000.00 from someone that she never even met.

So bad to lose a kind soul like hers. I was born 20 years after she died but you fell a magnetism when you watch her.So powerful inner beauty!

She was a sensitive woman, very feminine, very intelligent, very generous. She is never vulgar but very sensual. She is of such beauty inside and out as to upset anyone. Inimitable! Anyone who tries her out becomes a ridiculous caricature. - You can't help but love her. - Without questions and without judging, because nobody knows. ❤️🌿🌹

Its too bad, she felt, she needed to "learn", what she already knew.

Shes the best, beautyfull and kind person ever🤩🤩🤩

75% share of her estate? Damn. They used her hard. Took advantage of her not having a mother and father around, no immediate family, and her drug abuse.

I heard Arthur Miller say in an interview that he thought she was a natural and that Strasberg took advantage of her

No one has such a natural beauty than her ever before and after. can’t take my eye off of her. Amazing glory on her face and in her eye! she was good actor wish her still here. rip!♥️🙏

another gem of a woman defrauded of her genius by some guys no one will remember. MM engineered herself, created the make-up and the persona she was and has no one to thank but herself.

Marilyn Monroe was a great actress, shame she didn't have more self belief. Seems to me, all her insecurities stemmed from her sad childhood, that sort of beginning in life has to have a profound effect upon a person. Then the Hollywood system took advantage of her financially, mentally and physically, in other words they used her. All those pills didn't help either. Plus with her mother suffering from mental illness perhaps she was predetermined to have it at some level. She was always searching for something, she never seemed content at any period of her life. So sad because she was beautiful, talented, witty and funny. Tragic.

So many people in the documentaries made about her downplay her talent, abilities, intelligence, and the validity of her feelings about her life. I wish she could have been born in a time where the public and her peers would root for her to take her power back by pursuing her passions seriously. She must have felt so discouraged constantly being around the people who still put her down so long after she passed.

She really was a beautiful woman! I feel there was alot of jealousy and manipulation around her to keep her under control to keep her in a state of insecurity because her strength and beauty was a serious threat to those around her!

The actors studio here in Manhattan, New York City is still here. The sign is still there. That's is the same place where not only Marilyn took classes but the TV show Inside The Actors Studio with host James Lipton was filmed there and the following famous people took classes there. Marilyn Monroe Robert DeNiro Jack Nicholson Paul Newman Marlon Brando Jane Fonda Al Pacino Dennis Hopper Tina Louise from Gilligan's Island Anne Bancroft John Forsythe from Dynasty Ellen Barkin Jack Lord from Hawaii 5-0 Burt Reynolds and many others

Oliver didn't hire Monroe for ANYTHING. Marilyn Monroe Productions bought the film rights, hired Larry as director and co-Star and paid his salary! And, she was not overwhelmed by her own acting, that's baloney. She was taken out, otherwise she would have continued her career I'm sure very successfully.

RIP beautiful Marilyn 🌟

She died to soon I think... such an angel. Wish I could’ve had a chance to make her feel needed and loved... either as a mentor for me or as a role model... anything... as a caregiver... she just needed to be needed by someone who would need her to be herself.

Believe The Strassbergs provided the emotional support Marilyn needed to act in scene's...She truly wanted to be a good actress. It was her soul desire...Sadly, her life was cut short & that is a mystery with no answer!

Insightful and touching. Thank you so much for sharing this!

She was so glamorous and so beautiful to look at. Rip Marilyn Monroe 🕊️🕯️🤍💎

I think she has not only a double personality, but many because of the trouble in her childhood, that make her unique...She is genius.....so genius...

Marilyn Monroe And The Actors Studio(Documentary) Documentary segment

min 6:00 I agree with Strasberg, the emotional well in Marylin was so deep method acting would have only taken her to incredible new heights. Plus Marylin Monroe Productions would have soared in the late 60s and 70s, if only she had held on for just a little longer to see the birth of the hippie movement in '65 and the death of big studios. She would have been in her element! 💝💝💝

Rehashing all of her childhood trauma was exactly the worst thing for her mental state. Dangerous, really.

I think method acting really messed with Marilyn's head. I had a painful childhood myself and even the idea of trying to push up and relive those painful memories just to bring a fictional character to life is traumatizing. not healthy. But she was a perfectionist and needed to be the best. Also, I'm sure Marilyn knew they used her, Marilyn was no fool. Like the son said, she used them too. My guess is she felt she got a good tradeoff-- a good acting teacher and a family who gave her attention anytime of the day or night. although I don't think it was worth it in the end. Too toxic.

Paula was a traitor 😒, so was the whole family

Marilyn Monroe was born with a lot of inner issues. There was nothing no one could do for her because the issue was too strong. A troubled mind only gets worst especially when drugs and drink is added. She knew she had that it about herself she just depended on others to help her with fighting a system that was over powering and run by men. Her madness was part of what she inherited from her mother and one of her fears is not ending up like her mom. She was one troubled very troubled woman. Yet she was gifted with so much beauty that lights up the screen. That was her God given gift.

She didn't need to learn much. She just needed to be given the roles she wanted. Not portrayed as an object and a dumb blonde. So of course she kept chasing education. She thought those roles were all she was good at

She have not realy a mother, no father, no family. Thats was for someone so sensitive person very dangerous. She was beautiful and I never forget her. 🙏💋

interestigng how Heath Ledger reportedly dies alone in a hotel room from an accidental drug overdose/suicide after studying so deep in The Method to play the Joker... and then they say the Method was equally so damaging for Marilyn and she essentially dies the same way.....

Lee Strasberg was absolutely right about about Marilyn Monroe. No matter his motives, he was right. She was a genius comedian who had that rare raw talent that never had a chance to bloom to its fullness. She also was a brilliant actress, if you watch her films: Don't Bother to Knock, Bus Stop, Some Like it Hot, The Misfits -- and all the others. She was exquisitely sensitive, and that brilliance really showed in Bus Stop. She had some incredible moments, and she seemed so fragile, almost gossamer. And then of course one of the greatest comedic movies of all time, Some like it Hot. She really was used by so many people, even those who genuinely cared about her. I studied at the Lee Strasberg Theatre Institute in 1987, and there were so many stories from teachers, just general stories all around. What's so awful was around the time of her death she was planning on changing her will and taking Strasberg out of it. She had left her entire estate to Lee Strasberg, but she died before she could change the will. I think she was beginning to realize that she was depending on him (and others) way too much, and wanted to try it on her own. (The story is inaccurate here.) Even more tragic was that Lee's second wife, Anna, inherited all of the estate when Lee Died, including rights to any movie, anything connected to Marilyn Monroe: t-shirts, souvenirs, all those sorts of things. And she took over running the school. She was not the nicest person to deal with (many people actually despised her), and of course, became insanely wealthy when Lee died. I think Marilyn would have been horrified by that. Just tragic.

Marilyn MONROE didn need the actor studio....or Strasberg?? She was a natural actress a great performer.... no one cant tell anyone how to be !! The strasbergs used Marilyn Monroe!!

A disturbing unsettling segment of Marilyn's life. Poor woman.

Monroe did the tragicomic turn like nobody else - except Chaplin.

Yes, this is our girl. Hurt always, by the Men. Studios, family as child. The One and only Norma Jeane Baker / created Marilyn Monroe. She could do it all. Act, sing, dance, act And was always Wonderful. We, the world loved her, still do. Everyone ❤ used her, even the Strasburg group. All used her. Yes. She was using her Sensual action. Why not. Marilyn Monroe, we love you, we still do. Rest in peace sweetheart 💔, with the ones that Truly 💘 😻 💜 you. You could act. And Did it beautifully 👏 👌 ✨ ❤. Remember we, the people love you. We, I still

What made Marilyn special is her Natural ability. Going to a hot shot teacher was wrong!! 100%

A wonderful documentary on a complicated fascinating person

maybe strasberg meant for marilyn to be in macbeth in a film or tv production NOT a theater production?! we also know that marilyn could raise her voice based on "the misfits"..

Thanks for sharing. Can you tell me the name of the full documentary?

"He cashed in on her." sadly, everyone had.

Miller s documentary but her is BEYOND INSOULTING!!!!! I WAS SHOCKED

Laurence Olivier was just mad nobody came to see him in that movie. He is also known for being condescending control freak to other actors, not just Marilyn.

Some exceptionally insightful and interesting comments here about Marilyn Monroe and the Strasbergs. There's been discussion of Lee and Paula Strasberg using Marilyn but did she possibly use them too? They were useful to one another. Too, as mentioned in the documentary, Marilyn did improve as an actress once she was involved with the Strasbergs and the Method. I don't think that's a one-time thing either: Susan Strasberg was an outstanding actress even as a teenager and then there are many other students of Method acting who have done superlative work. "The play's the thing..." Whatever exactly was the nature and balance of the Monroe-Strasberg connection and despite the other, maybe questionable, people this led Marilyn to, Marilyn Monroe became a better and memorable actress worthy of the word "actress" and gave memorable performances. The Strasbergs genuinely helped Marilyn achieve her goal.

Energizing her past destroyed her

She just wanted to be a wonderful actress. She did the work, but all the jealous haters want to make her out to be less of a person. Shame on you.

I keep looking at 5:57 and think she has a cell phone. Why did it take so long for me to think otherwise?

Diva das Divas.

Un joli coucou à la fenêtre ❤️❤️❤️❤️🌹❤️❤️❤️🌾🌾🌾🌾💋

Sad, sad thing.😪😪

In my opinion her best acting was in Niagara, not Bus Stop.

Linda Marilyn.

I love Marylin Monroe 🌅🥰🥰🌹🌹🌹

Hi legendary queen of glamor

She had natural acting talent and did not need "the method" which only confused her and filled her with psychological complexes.

Sister ❤

Can you tell me precise references of this documentary? I can't find anything about it on the internet. Thank you

HEY, THAT'S HYMAN ROTH(ROTHSTEIN) IN GODFATHER 2! "THIS IS THE BUSINESS THAT WE HAVE CHOSEN". "I DIDN'T ASK WHO GAVE THE ORDER; BECAUSE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH BUSINESS". THE INSTRUCTOR ACTS. INTERESTING. GREAT JOB MR. STRASBERG.🎭. 😇😎🎤.

Pretty Angel 😍in Heaven by god

She would have made it anywhere in life

7:38 Silent Hill

Complain about Paula all u want but the bottom line is she did get Monroe performances to be spot on.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY - MM -

Or, Marilyn Monroe's figure, has read 37 inches 37.5 inches. Measuring a couple of her body's maximum point, girth lines. Central down document, Los Angeles County purple ink seal, attesting to D.O.B. with 37375 one can see up and right cornered.

Because she was working men who dont care about her health and wellbeing also they figure if they hurt her there is no male blood relative who they think he will protect her no brothet no father no son of her own when the Creator gives you such beauty with family protection and your young girl wow she live with wolfs in the jungle alone she feel very alone they abuse her in many ways using her beautiful body for selling and making money from her body I feel sorry for her she had pure heart and they take advantage from her Men are wolfs

Много похожих на нее, она не похожа ни на кого

She's talikng on a cell phone at 5:51

OH SHIT! The method acting is what triggered her trauma until it took her life. Instead of the theater helping her it killed her. Marked : 6:45

Никто не вспоминает Стразбургов и Миллера. Вме помнят Мерелин.

The Strasbergs & the Method" were the worst things that ever happened to Her. She was already a great actress.

Sinceramente acredito em reencarnações com certeza Deus tão benéfico e generoso deu outra vida pra ela e ela continua por aí , talvez com muita saudade de tudo que viveu pois sua vida foi interrompida, talvez não tão linda como era, mas a mesma alma introvertida talentosa e amável, acredito que a vida não acaba e é uma continuidade , nunca morremos de fato , fica o corpo na terra mas a alma é uma energia divina eterna, somos de Deus e voltamos sempre pra Ele e numa linda mansão extraordinária no céu, de lá todos voltaremos a ser novos bebes de alguém.Se podemos escolher nossas famílias , tenho minhas dúvidas, acho que nem todos podem escolher, muitas vezes Deus sabe o que é melhor pra cada um de nós.

Marylin was not vulnerable, Look what she achieved, she was fully aware of her power.

I said sorry 😐 but you don't forgive @ forget honn

Image tok !

She was made of milk and honey..

Norma Jean was Amazing, I Love Everything about her, and did this all for me out of Love, even if it was Hard, I Really Appreciate it all 😍😘💝🌹

Now, no one does it like Marylin Monroe aka who is she?

Or, It was 1962, I have classmates for the very first time. We, can nap. And, the President can retire, thanks to MARILYN 💋. (humor in JFK-speaking after the birthday song)

They were her Svengalis. Horrible.

Otaczała się samymi lokami

It is clear to anyone that Marilyn was scared to death. She was so gorgeous with a natural light but honestly, her acting was atrocious.
